Dear Athina,

Thank you for flagging this issues. We will reach out to CWG Co-Chairs and coordinate with them to propose proper adjustments.


Best regards,


León

Dear Leon, all,

Thank you for sharing the matrix with us.

I understand that this addresses merely CWG issues and that it is only a
description of what the provisions will contain. However, as it also
touches upon CCWG accountability topics, we would like to flag a couple
of issues so that they are properly addressed in the actual bylaws text.

In particular:

- Section 7 - IANA Function Review.
It should be clear that this section refers to the IANA naming function
only.

- Section 9 - Appeal Mechanism
As there is an exception for the ccTLDs, there should also be
such an exception for the numbers related disputes.

Thank you very much.

Athina
on behalf of the ASO reps

Dear all,

As spotted by some, there are some inaccuracies in the matrix that need
to be taken care of.

I will make sure to pass your comments to the CWG Co-Chairs so that they
can review them with counsel and make the corresponding corrections to
the document.

Best regards,


León

   Dear Julie, Martin, Greg, León,____

   Dear all, ____

   __ __

   I have a further question about the matrix kindly shared by León,
   regarding its section on PTI Governance, specifically Section 1
   subsection (a) (ii), i.e. “ jurisdiction of incorporation (i.e.,
   to change from California to another jurisdiction)“.____

   __ __

   Have the deliberations of the CCWG whether or not a bylaw
   requirement regarding location of headquarters should be a
   Fundamental Bylaw (para 241 – 255 of the draft report) been taken
   into account by the CWG? As I understand, the matrix refers to
   changes in the ICANN bylaws so I was wondering whether it is fully
   consistent with the CCWG proposal in this regard.____

   __ __

   Not sure why, but I did not see Julie’s original mail.____

   __ __

   I agree with her point.  There are also other parts of this
   section of the matrix that raise questions for me:____

   __ __

   __         i.            __For all of “2.  *ICANN Budget and IANA
   Budget*” I think CWG should be consulted where it comes to the
   IANA budget.____

   __ __

   __       ii.            __(a)  This is definitely something that
   needs to be considered by the CWG.  I’m not sure about what we
   mean by “approved budget.”  In my mind, PTI prepares its budget in
   discussion with the OCs so there will be a general expectation
   that the budget is a community-agreed budget – if it isn’t, there
   would be reason for the budget to be challenged.  So
   couldn’t/shouldn’t ICANN challenge the budget if there were
   opposition from the community?  I like the idea of a contract
   commitment (but wouldn’t that undermine a community power in ICANN
   to veto the IANA budget?) subject to there being a condition in
   the contract for PTI to develop its budget in consultation with
   the OCs (the CSC?), given that runaway budgets in the PTI will
   have a knock-on effect on how much they have to pay to ICANN!____

   __ __

   __      iii.            __I like the contract-condition approach
   because the same conditions would need to be transferred to any
   new operator.____

   __ __

   __     iv.            __(b)  Shouldn’t this be a requirement on
   the PTI?  They are the ones with the budget and the obligations
   that go with it.  This would seem to be a contract condition.____

   __ __

   __       v.            __(c)  Again a contract condition?____

   __ __

   __     vi.            __As I noted above, I agree with Julie. 
   “Approval” should be part of PTI’s budget development (especially
   for things like new investment, enhancing service level
   expectations, new technology developments).____

   __ __

   The CSC is an entity associated with the PTI:  Is the framework
   under 5 better included in the contract than in a fundamental
   bylaw?  On the other hand, there will be operational issues and
   decisions that would fall under the purview of the ccNSO and GNSO
   (selection of members, recall of members, escalation for example)
   and these will probably need bylaw changes for the ccNSO and
   GNSO.  would these need to be fundamental bylaws, though?____

   __ __

   Under 6, isn’t this something for the PTI, not ICANN?  I guess it
   could be a condition in the ICANN-PTI contract that the PTI
   develops a problem-resolution service, but I wonder how a bylaw in
   ICANN would achieve this.____

   __ __

   8.(e) talks about separation of PTI, but isn’t it the IANA
   functions operation that is separated from PTI?  And if that
   happens, there is no reason to do other than wind PTI up as its
   assets are transferred to the new operator.____

   I think you're right. As this was passed on to the whole CWG and
   CCWG without any prior review by any subcommittees, it should be
   considered subject to review and comment.____

   Hi Leon,____

   __ __

   Many thanks for sharing this matrix.  One thing that struck me
   when having a quick look through it was that Sidley have listed at
   Item 2 (d) the following as Subject Matter for a new Fundamental
   Bylaw:____

   "Requirement that the ICANN community approve or veto the IANA
   Budget after it has been approved by the ICANN Board but before it
   has come into effect." ____

   In my understanding, the proposed power was to consider and reject
   (or veto) the IANA Budget, but there should be no requirement for
   the ICANN Community to come together and actually approve the IANA
   budget. I had not thought that the Community Mechanism was
   intended to be used for such a purpose (ie approving strategic
   plans, operating plans or budgets).____

   __ __

   I believe the relevant paragraph from the CCWG 2nd draft report is
   para 381 on page 58:____

   __379.                     __381  Accordingly, this new power
   would give the community the ability to consider strategic and
   operating plans and budgets (both ICANN general and, separately,
   with respect to the budget for the IANA Functions) after they are
   approved by the Board (but before they come into effect) and
   reject them. The rejection could be of the proposed ICANN Budget
   or the IANA Budget, or of a proposed ICANN-wide strategic or
   operating plan. The petition would state which Budget or plan was
   being subject to veto. A separate petition is required for each
   Budget or plan being challenged. ____

   Perhaps I am misunderstanding something, but I don’t think the
   word ‘approve’ should appear in 2 (d) in the Sidley matrix.____

   I am forwarding this matrix that the CWG is working on as it is of
   the interest of this group as well and to help us continue shaping
   our work forward.____

   __ __

   The matrix is intended to help identify those bylaws that, from
   the scope of the CWG, would need to be considered fundamental.
   This, of course, is independent from the work we need to do but
   provides an example on what we can begin crafting ourselves.____

   If you want to keep being in the matrix, swallow the blue pill. If
   you want to work on shaping the matrix, swallow the red pill.
